Laramie Jubilee Days in Laramie
Laramie Jubilee Days is Laramie, Wyoming's annual Fourth of July-season celebration of its frontier and railroad heritage, combining a PRCA rodeo, a parade, and a carnival with community events across roughly a week. The festival draws on Laramie's history as an early Union Pacific Railroad town and Wyoming Territory settlement.
Laramie was founded in 1868 as a station on the transcontinental Union Pacific Railroad, quickly becoming one of the earliest and most significant towns in Wyoming Territory, and Jubilee Days grew out of a civic impulse to celebrate that layered frontier and railroad history alongside the national Independence Day holiday.
